I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven.

On the first day of July, the star Taibai appears. It is reddish-brown in color, flickering and looking shaky. This is an ominous sign.

On the same day, Chongzhen received news of the Ming army's defeat in Shaanxi. He couldn't help but feel angry and his blood rushed to his head. He spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

The emperor's coma threw the entire palace into panic.

Fortunately, Chongzhen was just angry and he woke up in the afternoon.

However, as the saying goes, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly.

Before he had fully recovered from the news of the Ming army's defeat in Shaanxi, he received another piece of bad news.

On July 3, a mutiny broke out in Ningyuan.

Then the black clouds in the northwest direction might be the army assembled by Ligdan Khan.

Write back to Wang Dahu, if Lin Danhan dares to get close to the Great Wall, beat him back

Also, tell Wang Dahu that the territory construction is in great need of manpower."

Blast furnace iron smelting has existed in China since the Eastern Han Dynasty, and by the Song Dynasty it had become extremely mature.

"Pacify the Western Tartars (Mongols) to control the Eastern Barbarians (Later Jin)"

but

Wang Chao suddenly looked towards the west. The monk can run away, but the temple cannot. You can run away, but your land cannot run away, right?

The dynasty does not have the energy to occupy the northern Mongolian steppes.

"Zhou Tie, the head of the weapons manufacturing department, greets the leader!"

Looking at the imperial edict in his hand, Yang He's expression changed. The army that was going to suppress the uprising in Shaanxi must include the dynasty's salvation army.

"Hey! Ever since the leader told me and my father about using coke blast furnaces to make iron and converters to make steel, I have been studying it with my father day and night.

In fact, there are black clouds in many places around the territory of the People's Salvation Army. They are the spiritual power generated by the Ming court army and the surrounding forces.

The soldiers tied up Governor Bi Zisu and General Zhu Mei, and tied them together with Zhang and Su on the city wall, verbally insulting and humiliating them.

However, all this has to wait until Ligdan Khan's attack is repelled.

For a moment, the crowd was excited and almost everyone lost their mind.

Although many soldiers were still somewhat dissatisfied, it was better than having no pay at all. In addition, Guo Guang and others promised that they would not pursue the mutinous soldiers' guilt.

"Hmm~?"

Wang Chao's expression darkened slightly, and he sneered with a cold light in his eyes and said:

But combined with Li Hei's report.

"Quick! Let Chief Zhou come in."

Wang Chao stood up suddenly and couldn't help but smile.

"Yes!"

As they evacuated and occupied Gansu Town and Shaanxi Xingdusi, Wang Chao and his men naturally confiscated a large number of war horses.

That is the area where spiritual energy radiates around the territory. If someone is in it and is hostile to the Salvation Army, a large amount of black and gray air will naturally breed.

The golden ball of light at this moment is like a golden spiritual egg, nurturing a sacred life.

And if a black cloud can be formed, there must be a lot of people involved.

Endless national fortunes gathered together, and the golden ball of light above Wang Chao's head became more solid and bright. There was no impurities in it anymore, only pure gold, and it had completely turned into a golden ball.

Because through spiritual perception, Wang Chao could clearly sense that these Mongolian cavalry were no stronger than the Ming army, and the combat effectiveness of the rescue army was enough to crush them.

Something big must have happened to make Li Hei behave like this.

After Jiang Bo walked out, he extended his hand to Zhou Tie who was waiting nearby.

Not to mention, there must be more cavalry outside the area covered by spiritual power.

However, to the west of Dongkor, my country's largest inland lake, Qinghai Lake, now belongs to the Tumed tribe of the Tatars of Ligdan Khan.

And there seems to be another salt lake in the southwest of Qinghai Lake.

Sure enough, when Wang Chao asked, Zhou Tie immediately answered excitedly.

Because they had not received their salaries for a long time, many soldiers became angry, and the soldiers from Sichuan and Huguang were the first to make a fuss.

The salt produced in abundance is the famous blue salt, or Tibetan blue salt.

Yuan Chonghuan, whose courtesy name was Yuansu and pseudonym was Ziru, was from Dongguan, Guangdong. His father, Yuan Zipeng, was proficient in geomancy and had many knights under his tutelage, like Mengchangjun.

"Chief, Lord Zhou Tiezhou, the head of the weapons manufacturing department, wants to see you!"

However, they were soon caught and tied up by angry soldiers.

Wang Chao looked at Zhou Tie and asked with interest.

At this moment, the soldiers' emotions were like dry firewood, which would burn fiercely when encountering a spark.

"Use Liao people to guard Liao land, and use Liao land to support Liao people"

Just in the area covered by spiritual power and sensed by the dynasty, there are at least more than 20,000 people.

"Does Lin Danhan, who was just beaten up by Huang Taiji, think that my army is easy to bully and wants to show off his strength and power here?

"Oh! Did it really work?"

A mysterious aura of power is gestating and evolving within the golden ball of light.

However, in April of this year, he was promoted again by Chongzhen to the position of Minister of War and Deputy Censor-in-Chief, Governor-General of Ji and Liao, and was in charge of Ningyuan, Jizhou, Denglai, Tianjin and other places.

At this time, the new Governor-General of Ji and Liao, Yuan Chonghuan, had just entered Shuntian Prefecture in the capital.

At this moment, Li Hei suddenly came in a hurry.

However, Wang Chao only knew the general idea and he didn’t know how to proceed.

Seeing this scene, Wang Chao couldn't help but straighten his expression.

He didn't even have any confidence in whether he could defend.

Those rebels who had been persuaded to surrender, after the defeat of the imperial army, gathered together again to rebel.

Even in history, Lindan Khan died in Qinghai Lake.

When he first ascended the throne, he always wanted to achieve results as quickly as possible in order to stabilize and restore the already shaky Ming Dynasty.

"Chief, Gansu General Wang Dahu sent someone to report that Lin Danhan on the northern grasslands seems to be a little restless."

Just as Wang Chao was thinking about this, Jiang Bo suddenly walked in quickly.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah"

"Master Zhou, the leader wants to see you!"

Eight months later, Nurhaci's injuries worsened and he died.

In May of the seventh year of the Tianqi reign, Yuan Chonghuan defeated Huang Taiji again.

However, compared with those Mongolian cavalry, they are still far inferior.

Therefore, Wang Chao did not care much about the dark clouds around him.

After Yuan Chonghuan entered the officialdom, he was generous and courageous, and liked to talk about military strategies, which was influenced by his father.

"Oh~? What happened? Tell me."

In this regard, Yang He could only muster up his energy and suppress the rebellion again.

Yang He sighed, but he could only cheer himself up and start raising food and fodder for the army and recruiting soldiers again.

But Chongzhen’s imperial edict had already come down, so what could he do?

"Oh~!"

Wang Chao couldn't help but have a thought, his mind had already descended on that area. The cavalry troops stretching for miles were slowly approaching the Great Wall.

Almost immediately, he was summoned into the palace by Chongzhen.

"The success of blast furnace ironmaking is really thanks to my son."

Zhang Shirong and Su Hanchun, who were on patrol, saw that the situation was not good and turned around to escape.

Looking at Zhou Tie's faintly excited expression, Wang Chao had basically confirmed that this must be what Wang Chao had instructed him to do, and it had already produced results.

With a bow, Zhou Tie quickly entered the government office.

The only concern is that the Salvation Army may not be able to catch up.

"Chief, it's a success! The blast furnace has been successful in smelting iron."

However, although some results have been achieved, it is still far from the expected goal.

The efficiency of ironmaking has been greatly improved, but there has been no progress in converter steelmaking.

Until a few days ago."

In the end, they were repelled by Yuan Chonghuan, or rather, they were injured by Yuan Chonghuan's artillery and had no choice but to retreat.

As time passed, the Shaanxi Xingdusi, as well as the newly occupied Pingliang and Fengyang prefectures, were gradually covered by the bright yellow national destiny.

It is called Chaka Salt Lake.

As for the Salvation Army in the west, he could only set up a defense line and focus on defense.

However, Wang Chao was not too worried.

"Well, thank you Guard Jiang!"

In the end, Guo Guang borrowed another 50,000 taels from a wealthy businessman in the city.

Yuan Chonghuan's opinions and ideas naturally pleased Chongzhen very much.

This department was a gathering place of talented people and produced a number of influential figures, among whom the most notable was Yuan Chonghuan.

However, before he had time to reorganize the army, Chongzhen had already issued an imperial edict to admonish him, ordering him to reorganize the army as soon as possible and suppress the rebel army in Shaanxi.

At the same time, he also submitted a memorial to Chongzhen, hoping to resign from the post of Governor-General of the Three Borders, as he felt that he really did not have the talent for it.

But this little amount of silver was really too little to be divided among hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

After receiving their rations, the soldiers slowly dispersed.

In the sixth year of the Tianqi reign, Nurhaci of the Later Jin Dynasty attacked Ningyuan City.

But in the end, he was dismissed from office by Wei Zhongxian's forged imperial edict and returned to his hometown in Guangdong to farm.

Seeing that the incident had arisen suddenly and that the soldiers were too numerous and powerful to be suppressed, Guo Guang found ways to collect 20,000 taels of silver and distributed it to the soldiers.

“Well, it really worked!”

After hearing Jiang Bo's words, Wang Chao was stunned at first, then he was shocked and an idea emerged faintly.

However, before he took office and had just arrived in the capital, a serious mutiny occurred in Ningyuan.

However, Deputy Military Envoy Guo Guang had just taken office and was not very familiar with the soldiers, so the soldiers did not arrest him.

In order to become an official and serve his country, Yuan Chonghuan gave up the military examination and took the literary examination. As expected, he was successful in the imperial examination and became the 40th Jinshi in the third class in the 47th year of Wanli.

"Okay, okay, Master Zhou is indeed an expert in this area.

Come on, I’ll go take a look later.”

However, the imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty emphasized civil service rather than military service, and the number of candidates admitted to the military examinations in each period was less than one-third of that to the civil service examinations.

The national destiny is shrouded in a bright yellow color, and on the edge of the national destiny, there is a small black cloud.

"Yes!"

"What is the purpose of Chief Zhou Tie's visit this time?"

Without mentioning that Yuan Chonghuan went to Ningyuan to pacify the Ningyuan mutiny, let’s talk about Yang He, the governor of the three borders of Shaanxi, who retreated all the way back to Xi’an Prefecture after being defeated by the rescue army.

While Yang He was suppressing the bandits once again and deploying a large army to guard against the rescue army's eastward advance, Wang Chao, who had already returned to Lintao Prefecture, had no plans of expansion at all, but devoted himself to the development of his territory.

However, after the previous battle, he really didn't have the confidence to fight again.

He is looking forward to it very much.

Wang Chao felt that their army to rescue the people needed such a salt lake.

Yuan Chonghuan's five years of pacifying Liao naturally won the favor of Chongzhen.

Wang Chao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked towards the northwest.

"Hmm~?"

In response to Chongzhen's question, he boldly said that he would recover Liao in five years, advocating "defending is the right strategy, fighting is the strange strategy, and making peace is the side strategy."

As soon as the soldiers from Huguang and Sichuan started to riot, the remaining 130,000 soldiers immediately responded.

Zhou Tie nodded repeatedly while leading the way, and said a little embarrassedly:

Soon, soon.

Feeling the rhythm of the golden light ball above, Wang Chao's heart was slightly excited. In about ten days or half a month, the golden light ball would undergo its final transformation and evolve into a higher power.

It turned out that Wang Chao, based on his memories of his previous life, told Zhou Tie and his son about his impression of using coke for blast furnace ironmaking and converter steelmaking, and then asked them to study the ironmaking matters.

And at this moment, something even more unfortunate happened.

Of course, it cannot be compared with later generations, but no matter what, it can also produce molten iron.

Therefore, what Wang Chao wanted mainly was to make steel in blast furnaces.
